1. Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
2. Why do we argue about the simplest things? If we believe God’s word, then how can we miss the fact that Jesus is the only way to heaven?
3. Scripture
   1. John 14:6-7
   2. Jesus:  I am the path, the truth, and the energy of life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.  If you know Me, you know the Father. Rest assured now; you know Him and have seen Him.
4. Devotional
   1. So I think I’ll take a vacation this summer. I’ve always enjoyed Disneyland in California
      1. Disneyworld is fun, too, but hot and a lot more walking than in Disneyland
      2. Travel plans
         1. Train from San Antonio to New York City
         2. Hop on a ship and sail to Iceland
         3. Catch a plane and fly to London, England
      3. Then enjoy Disneyland
      4. That should work, right?
      5. Doesn’t matter how you get there as long as I’m sincere about going, right?
   2. Maybe a little far fetched so let’s try again
      1. I really will go to California this time, but I decide that I’m going to go by way of a commercial plane, but I don’t have the money to buy a ticket.
      2. Sneak onto the tarmac
      3. Climb into the wheel housing
      4. Fly non-stop in the wheel housing to California on a 757
      5. Only 3 hour flight from here
      6. At 35,000 feet: frozen, no oxygen, dead
   3. If I want to see the original Disneyland, I can only go to one place and I must go through the entrance to that magic kingdom in Anaheim, California to see it.
      1. No other way to see it
      2. No matter how sincere
      3. No matter how else I might try
      4. I need a ticket and entrance through that front gate or I’ll be thrown out of the park as an intruder
   4. If the Bible is true, then Jesus’ words are true also
      1. Every time someone tries to disprove something, they find themselves stuck with circular arguments or proofs of scripture on their hands
      2. If what God’s word says is true
      3. Then Jesus is the only way to the Father
      4. He is the entrance and the only entrance
      5. Any other way is unacceptable, all other means make you an intruder and like the parable of the master of the wedding feast, those not in the proper garments are thrown into the street
   5. We can argue the point all we want
      1. We can argue the sun is not really the source of heat for the earth
      2. We can argue the earth is really flat instead of round
      3. We can argue God is not the creator of life
      4. We can argue Jesus is not the only way to heaven
      5. Just because we argue those things, does not mean we are right
   6. God’s word is true, I want to be on the right side of the argument when He returns
   7. Easy as believing in Him
5. If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at SAF.church. If you like the devotional, share it with someone. If you don’t, tell me. I hope you’ll join me again tomorrow for “A Little Walk with God.”
